Effects of cigarette smoke condensate on proliferation and wound closure of bronchial epithelial cells in vitro: role of glutathione
Abstract Background Increased airway epithelial proliferation is frequently observed in smokers.To elucidate the molecular mechanisms leading to these epithelial changes, we studied the effect of cigarette smoke Handset Membrane Cable condensate (CSC) on cell proliferation, wound closure and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation.We als
